SWAT Official Statement — From the Godfathers

Today is one of the hardest announcements we’ve ever had to make.

After long and serious discussions between me (Dom), Taco Daily, Lights, Ganger90, Zuke, and Lego, we have decided to officially shut down SWAT of Club Penguin.

This decision affects us just as deeply as it affects every member here. SWAT was never “just an army.” It was a brotherhood, a proving ground, a legacy built inside Club Penguin and carried far beyond it.

From the Flash Nemesis battles to the Purple Republic vs. Pink Alliance era, from our greatest wars against ACP to the countless nights defending first place — SWAT was always in the conversation. We didn’t just participate in history. We shaped it.

There were eras where we dominated. Eras where we rebuilt. Eras where people counted us out. And eras where we came back stronger than ever.
From 2009 to 2024, SWAT consistently proved one thing: when we were organized, disciplined, and united, there was no ceiling to what we could accomplish.

We held down number one. We fought wars that defined generations. We trained leaders who went on to shape the entire army community. We adapted through platform changes, game closures, revivals, and migrations.

But the reality we must face now is this: over the past few years, the foundation has weakened.

We have struggled with:
• A lack of consistent dedication in our commander seats
• No active advisors or legends stepping in to guide and mentor the next generation
• Recruiting systems that once made us elite are now sitting unused
• A server of 6,400 members with moderation that is simply not sustainable

Leadership cannot survive on nostalgia. Structure cannot survive on reputation. Legacy cannot survive without stewardship.

We want to publicly salute William for holding this army together over the last year. He carried a burden no single person should have to carry alone. That effort does not go unnoticed.

In 2020, I revived SWAT not because I wanted to, but because I realized it was a golden age. If a golden age returns, then hit up the Godfathers in the Discord.

From here on out, the SWAT Discord will be a quiet vet spot, which is protected by SWAT GODFATHERS & GUARDIANS & currently owned by Lego. https://swatclubpenguin.com/join

The Retirement of Subzero

Dear SWAT,

First of all I would just like to say I’m sorry.

I was originally assigned to help keep SWAT alive, and I would like to think I succeeded, however, what I am sorry for is not being able to be the best version of myself and I truly feel that during my time here I could’ve produced better results. To my people at SWAT, I apologise as I could’ve given you more, naturally I’ve become more busy irl, I don’t want you guys to think that I just gave up, because I haven’t. That isn’t me. I would never just give up on this and everything we’ve managed to achieve together since the reconstruction. 

Each and every single one of you were always in my best interests, I hope that you will speak up for me when I am not around.

I do see myself returning in the future, but for now, it pains me to say, I will have to hand in my resignation.

This place has much respect from me and always will, a naturally disliked army with the odds stacked against it, sounds like my cup of tea.. I want you all to work hard to keep this place up and running, there’s much room for improvement and I believe with more vets coming and sticking around (like myself, holo, antman, etc) and giving that extra push and knowledge, this place could grow to the heights of the dominant DCP & RPF. That is what was written for SWAT, to succeed. So let this be a message to any and all SWAT veterans OG Era, CPPS Era and Future Era’s to come, don’t give up on SWAT, it costs absolutely nothing to give these guys a fraction of your time. Keep the torch lit and pass it around like a never ending blunt. 

I apologise for the lengthy text, some things just need to be said, I will be hanging around and will always be available to everybody via discord, I will not be completely vanishing, I will be appointing myself as an advisor from here on out until the time comes for me to once again return. As long as that is okay with everyone. 

A message to the current and future HCOM:

Leadership isn’t about words – it’s about actions. It’s about showing up, leading by example, and helping others when they need it the most. 

Moments like this remind me that true leadership is about lifting others up, guiding them, and giving them the confidence to stand on their own.

A small gesture – helping someone with their first event, giving that encouragement – might not seem like much, but to someone else, it can mean everything. 

Lead with purpose. Lead with heart. And always remember – the smallest things can leave the biggest impact. 

(And always remember, life is what you make it, in this instance success is whatever you want it to be, live up to your own expectations and then set the next challenge, one step at a time, you don’t need to live up to anybody else’s expectations or be in anybody else’s shadow, this is your project, your hobby, your side hustle maybe even your main priority, it doesn’t matter! As long as you’re having fun you will achieve success as that is a success within its very self!)

Anyways,

I’ve had an absolute blast from start to finish, so to my co leaders, my hcoms, my staff and my troops, thank you for the good times, the bad times and thank you for working with me. Thank you to everybody who has supported & trusted me and thank you to the community for making this fun.

Here’s to 2012, here’s to 2025 and here’s to the future.

Your former 2x Supreme Commander,

✪】[EU] “Quarrelsome” Training Event [Results]

Today (4/15/2025), our EU division logged into the server Warzone for our “Quarrelsome” Training Event. This was put together to practice for our upcoming invasion of Polar scheduled for tomorrow. It’s been clearly evident that SWAT’s numbers have dipped below an acceptable threshold recently. This is a fantastic start towards the fight to reclaim our former glory.

One Slice Too Many

Pizza Federation is a small army that goes around maxing 10 maybe a tiny bit more yet “get lucky” when tournaments come around like Beach Brawl, Fight or Fright, Christmas Chaos? They have inflated numbers in tournaments yet when they come out of tournaments they’re weak and pathetic. Take the Beach Brawl for example, suddenly maxed approx 25 after maxing 5-12 consistently and what happened after the tournament??? They fell yet again but kept running their mouths off acting like big shots, getting into places they shouldn’t be getting into. We’ve seen your big act and we’re calling your bluff.

Leader Interviews: Mare

Welcome to yet another interview here at SWAT. Our third interview will be with Mare, leader of SWAT. Mare joined the SWAT leadership group a few months ago but how much is she hiding? Is there anything we don’t know about Mare? Let’s find out!

Many know you as a SWAT leader but before this generation of SWAT, you’ve had your own share of experiences. What armies were you in before SWAT and why did you leave?

So, before I was in this current SWAT, I was part of Zuke’s SWAT in April as a staff member. However, I was not very active and ended up joining Golds for a few weeks. Then, I ended up leaving Golds to continue with SWAT because I ended up having more fun there. Later on, Aubz created the One Direction Army server and I was one of the founders that helped her build the army. While that was going on, I left SWAT then rejoined once again during Badboy’s SWAT as 3ic. However, I realized that it was hard balancing both the armies and left SWAT once again to lead One Direction Army. I then ended up rejoining SWAT in July and never left. I think that no matter what happened I always found my way back home to my first army, SWAT. #SWATFAMBESTFAM

You’ve been leading SWAT for a few months now. How has this experience been for you? Is there something you’ll take away from this experience?

It has been incredible journey leading SWAT, I’ve learned so many new things about major armies and the way they work. I’m still learning things everyday and I still am improving as a leader, but I think that’s the joy of being here. I always have something new to look up to! I have also met so many new incredible people who I’m glad are part of our SWAT team. Also, getting to lead with my great friends along my side has been such a wild/fun ride. The idea of me even leading SWAT, I never thought I would be able to because when I first joined in April, I didn’t even know what to do. So now seeing myself here and leading with the own SWAT creator himself, it’s just something I never expected. Oh and also I learned on folks nem grave!!!!!!!

Everyone knows that you were in ODA but what’s your obsession with One Direction?

When it was 2010, lets just say little mare had posters of their faces all around her room. Also, shirts and bracelets of them. One Direction has always been my favorite band and they definitely got me through my middle school-highschool years! I’m still hoping one of them marry me.

Mare in her natural habitat

Before joining SWAT for the first time did you know anything about CP Armies? What did you learn from the last-gen that you’ve put to use in this gen as a leader?

I remember on the OG Club Penguin I’d see people dressed in the same outfits chanting things, but I thought they were bots. Something I learned from last gen was to never let the haters bring you down!!!! As a leader, you’re going to get lots of people trying to hate on you, but you just gotta keep your head high and focus on positivity!

In the last interview, we did Blaze mentioned a special talent that he had. Do you have any special talents that we don’t know about?

Well, I can touch my nose with my tongue which is pretty cool LOL. But aside from that, I’m really into fashion and I use to lead a club. I loved sewing clothes and creating new designs. A couple things I’ve created were like pillow cases, wallets, shirts, skirts, purses, and more!

We’re heading into the end of 2020 now, coming out of a difficult year. What plans do you have for your future in SWAT?

I believe the transition out of 2020 will be smooth. I’m sure that when we are done with 2020 and on to 2021 we will gain lots of new members, continue being one of the greatest armies, and collect more land! I have high hopes and plans for the future of SWAT and I know it will continue being successful.

Do you have anything you’d like to say to the troops reading this?

Thank you all for your hardwork, you all are the reason SWAT will remain successful! Also, shout out to all the SWAT Leaders, hcoms, and staff you guys are amazing and I’m glad to work with all of you. Also, thank you Coolguy for this COOL interview!
SIDENOTE: Regan & Orange are simps and if you ever see them in our server make sure you let them know that.

Well, that’s our third interview of the series! A lot of things to take in with some very detailed answers. Who knew Mare could create designs? Well, I hope you enjoyed this interview.

Let us know in the comments below if you enjoyed the interview, also tell us who you want to be interviewed next and tell us any questions you want to ask Mare or any of the other leaders!

SWAT FOREVER!

Starting Up

Hello Agents.

This week, a lot of people are studying and/or actually taking their midterms in school, and are spending more time focusing on that right now than CP armies. I am one of these people. Already, we’ve maxed 45, and new recruits are flowing in every day. Soon we will go on a run that will put us above all, and where we want to be. We will reclaim 1st, and we will defend it for months to come. For now, we won’t be having THAT MANY events, not until testing is over for everyone. When testing is over, we will go on our tear, and regain our former strength from about a month ago. Lets get it done, SWAT.

Hello SWAT Agents, I am making this post to tell you that,

WE CAN DO IT

And I mean it. We can achieve what we want if we put our minds to it. If you want to become an owner, you become one, you just have to try. Today,we reached up to 46 users on chat, with the help of 3 leaders myself, Wenny, and Ganger, (also with the help of owners). I was given a picture of 43 users on chat, but later we hit 46. 

If you are a new recruit or troop, and you do not have a Club Penguin account, just tell me or any other leader, and we will assist you in making one.

Getting Back On Track [INVASION OF YETI RESULTS]

Hello SWAT!

After yesterday’s setback, tonight we bounced back, and we bounced back in a huge way. We logged on to invade the free server Yeti and we broke sizes of 45+, averaging 40-42 the entire event. I’d like to thank Apollo for pictures. We have another event at 9:30 so lets keep recruiting, and lets aim for similar sizes. Good job Agents!

See you on the battlefield,

~Bad, SWAT Commander In Chief
